Just received my Airspy receiver and attempting to run with SDRTrunk It locks up in 10-15 seconds.
I have attached the error report from the boot window. I was not able to do the plug and play as they say it does. I did install the driver available from Airspy's web site but even that didn't seem right. It does work with SDR-Console.
Anyone have any idea how to get this thing to work? $200.00 toy that I wanted to dedicate to SDRTrunk.
PS I do have it running fine with a cheap dongle.
WIN 10, 32 bit system. I7 CPU 8Gigs memory.

Thanks, Chuck

Obvious question: does your Airspy work with any SDR software, perhaps SDR# as a test case to make sure it's working as designed? There could be some incompatibility with SDRTrunk and Airspy so my suggestion is make sure Airspy is working correctly, and since it was designed with SDR# in mind that's the software to use to verify it's fully functional and everything works as it should for extended periods of time.

If you have issues using any other software, not just SDR# but perhaps give HDSDR a shot as well (I see you said it's working with SDR-Console), then your Airspy unit itself could be defective in some respect.

I'm guessing you've checked out the Airspy forum for similar potential issues, might be a good idea to drop this question there as well just in case.

Also, I see you basically just mentioned this issue in the SDRTrunk thread also so it's best to stick with just one thread for troubleshooting a specific issue and not cross-posting it through various threads.

I understand about cross posting. Just so discouraged with this thing, looking for a quick answer. I did email Airspy with the problem. When I use it with SDR#, it wont get a decent signal on even the NOAA signal which is perfect on all my other receivers. I can't seem to load a correct driver for this thing. Lots of USB drivers will start it, but none work properly. In SDR Trunk the errors point to Memory and say the firmware cant handle packing. No idea what that means. If it was a POS dongle, I'd toss it !!!

Did you set the gains in the configuration? I usually select AUTO on the bottom two and between 4 and 11 for the top one.
